Mid-May through mid-July brings Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, and—on even years—the Farnborough Airshow, compressing PPR windows and filling the apron at London Oxford. You'll see tighter delivery slots, earlier cut-off times, and increased demand for high-loader coordination as handling agents manage higher volumes. During these weeks we recommend placing orders 24 to 36 hours in advance and confirming your FBO contact details so our drivers can navigate any last-minute ramp changes. Cold platters and pre-portioned service work best when galley time is squeezed between back-to-back legs.
During the tournament, expect tighter slot coordination and increased apron activity as London Oxford handles elevated business aviation traffic. Advance PPR and extended handling lead times become essential throughout the fortnight.
High premium daytime demand
During Farnborough Airshow week, you'll find Oxford operating as a relief airport with increased PPR requirements, tighter slot coordination, and extended FBO handling times due to overspill traffic from saturated southeastern fields.
Peak crew and delegation catering
During Royal Ascot week, you should expect significantly increased traffic at London Oxford Airport, with apron congestion, tighter slot coordination, and extended handling times as the FBO manages peak private aviation movements to the nearby event.
Guest invitations run to multi-cabin groups with dietary variety—business aviation catering covers allergies, preferences and crew meals in one order. Mid-June demand means tighter lead times; we ask for final counts 48 hours ahead to protect build accuracy and VIP flight catering standards on race days.
During the Chelsea Flower Show week, expect heightened slot coordination and apron congestion at Oxford as operators position aircraft for attendees returning from London, often requiring advance PPR and extended handling lead times.

For departures after 13:00, we can typically accommodate orders received by 09:00 the same day, subject to kitchen capacity and PPR slot availability. Earlier flights require the previous evening's cut-off. During event weeks—Wimbledon, Royal Ascot, Farnborough—apron congestion and tighter handling windows mean we ask for 24 hours' notice to secure delivery slots and coordinate with your handling agent.
Yes. We prepare gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher-style, halal-style, and low-FODMAP menus in dedicated prep zones to minimise cross-contact. Every dish is labelled with its full allergen profile—cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin, molluscs—following EASA guidelines. If a passenger carries an EpiPen or has severe anaphylaxis risk, tell us at the time of order so we can implement additional controls.
High-loader availability at London Oxford Airport is confirmed at the time of order and depends on ground-handling schedules and aircraft parking position. Where a loader is available, we use it to transfer catering directly into the galley, reducing cabin-crew handling time. For aviation catering at EGTK when a loader isn't confirmed, we package trays and carriers so they can be safely hand-carried through the main door and stowed without additional equipment.
Send your request by email with departure date, estimated off-blocks time, passenger count, any dietary requirements, and your preferred contact at the handling agent or FBO. We'll confirm menu options, delivery timing, and any PPR or slot constraints, then issue a final order summary for your approval. Once confirmed, our kitchen schedules production and dispatch coordinates the airside handover with your ground team at London Oxford.
